Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) is promising to become the foundation of many decentralised systems. However, the unbalanced and unregulated network layout contributes to the inefficiency of DLT especially in the Internet of Things (IoT) environments, where nodes connect to only a limited number of peers. The data communication speed globally is unbalanced and does not live up to the constraints of efficient real-time distributed systems. In this paper, we introduce a new communication protocol, which enables nodes to calculate the tradeoff between connecting/disconnecting a peer in a completely decentralised manner. The network layout globally is continuously re-balancing and optimising along with nodes adjusting their peers. This communication protocol weakened the inequality of the communication network. The experiment suggests this communication protocol is stable and efficient.

合约连接：分布式账本技术的高效通信协议

分布式账本技术（DLT）有望成为许多去中心化系统的基础。然而，不平衡和不受监管的网络布局导致 DLT 效率低下，尤其是在物联网 (IoT) 环境中，节点仅连接到有限数量的对等点。全球数据通信速度不平衡，无法满足高效实时分布式系统的约束。在本文中，我们引入了一种新的通信协议，它使节点能够以完全分散的方式计算连接/断开对等点之间的权衡。全球网络布局随着节点调整其对等点而不断重新平衡和优化。这种通信协议削弱了通信网络的不平等性。
